Abstract:
The invention is directed to a system and method of asynchronously collecting different types of information for an event (e.g., football game) and aggregating the information in real-time according to sub-events (e.g., plays from scrimmage). One or more terminals (e.g., smartphones, tablet or laptop computers) are configured to capture information (video, still images, metadata) of each sub-event and distribute the captured information to the other terminals in real-time. Such distribution may be facilitated using a cloud network and server, or else a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Further, one of the terminals is configured to notify the other terminals when a particular sub-event has commenced, thus allowing the captured information of the particular sub-event to be associated with a corresponding sub-event identifier. The captured information may be aggregated according to the sub-events by use of sub-event identifiers for presentation to users, e.g., in a playlist.
